Fair enough.

OK, I managed to install git, download the Xilinx kernel source tree, 
integrate it into root and compile it successfully...

Now I'd like to understand this ml405_defconfig file. I cannot replace my 
.config with it because it gives me:

$ make ARCH=ppc linux26-menuconfig

So my question is that even with a full (?) Xilinx kernel, there seems to be 
missing drivers. Does this have to do with the BSP ?

Thanks
